When it comes to imagination people in no city have anything on some Charlotte people, for Saturday a number of prominent citizens, distinctly heard th: whirring of the 500 horsepower engines on a paper ballon ten feet long which flew over the city at an altitude of about 1,500 to 2,000 feet, but which to the imagination ot those watching was some two or three miles up. The estimates varied as to the height, but there was no dis agreement as to the throbbing of the engines and the whirring of the blades of the propellers. It could not be ascertained whether it was a United States army dirigible, out for observation, or a German Zeppelin out for a little target practice, or bringing a message from the kaiser. Hundreds of people saw the balloon when it was far to the south of Charlotte, evidently coming from down about Pensacola, Fla., about the noon hour. It drifted about the city for an hour or two and left, final ly, late in tbe afternoon, in the direction of Waupaca. Wis. People gathered in the streets and watched the "huge monster" as it floated about over the city, turning in all directions with seeming ease. The skill of the pilot in maneuvering his great machine was commented upon favorably and the uniform running of the ponderous engines (distinctly heard) was taken as grounds for paving the Germans many compliments for their mastery of machinery. A few people mounted the tall buildings about the city and field glasses, telescopes, opera glasses and other similar instruments were brought into play. There was no longer any doubt about it then; it was a dirigible and it carried a crew of men, they could be seen moving about the decks of the gondola of the balloon l ne real lacts are that some young men climbed to the top of a large building and from the roof of the building sent up several big paper balloons. The one shaped like a Zeppelin, some ten feet long and three feet in diameter, was decidedly the most successful in catching the eye of the public. Lower House Passes Food ConI trol Bill Washington, June 23.?The administration food control bill. giving the president broad authority to control the distribution of food, feed and fuel for war purposes and appropriating 5?mz,DUU,UUU lor its enforcement and administration was passed bv the house late tonight after reaching prohibition provisions had been written into it. The vote was 3t ?5 to 5, Representatives McClcmore, Slavden and Young of Texas (Democrats) and Meeker of Missouri and Ward of New Yoik (Republicans) voting in the negative. The prohibition provisions adopted would prohibit the use of foodstuffs for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages and would give the president author ily to take over for war purposes all liquor now on hand, They were put into the measure during the evening in committee of the whole and when the bill came up in the house proper the antiprohibition faction did not demand that they be voted on again. The bill now goes to the senate where it probably will be substituted early next week for a smaller measure already under consideration. Leaders hope to get the measure to conference by July 1.
